Buddy, my best friend of 18 years, RIP.

Maybe a lawyer and a reality TV celebrity’s side hustle, researching the link between circumcision, Tylenol, and autism while ignoring that autistic women exist, should be disqualifying.

SoloSojourner @solosojourner.bsky.social · 16m

Israel’s autism rate is 7 per 1,000, while the U.S. rate is 32 per 1,000. Acamol or paracetamol are Israel’s equivalents to Tylenol and acetaminophen. Circumcision rates are near-universal in Israel (98%) and significantly lower in the United States (49%). Something doesn’t add up…

It’s weird that this one deal with Qatar set her off. Why didn’t she have a problem with the deals with Saudi Arabia and the UAE that were finalized in May, personally by 47? What did she think 47 was using to negotiate the Gaza peace deal?

Has anyone told Loomer that this is the third deal negotiated this year? Saudi Arabia and UAE deals were finalized in May 2025 and Qatar’s deal finalized a few days ago. What did she think 47 was negotiating with to facilitate support for the Gaza peace deal?

Something tells me that China wasn’t cool with the TikTok deal…

The question is: who did 47 tell before the announcement so they could ‘sell high,’ and who will 47 tell before he TACOs so they can ‘buy low’?

Mama seems to be saying it’s dinner time, and baby seems to saying good because I’m starving. But then Mama is like, you know we don’t eat in the living room.

Anyone who thinks Amazon doesn’t have video of every box being loaded before shipping is in for a big surprise. Most of their warehouses are over 90% automated—which means cameras. Lots of cameras. 🫢

Loomer missed one meeting at the Pentagon and Qatar gets an airbase in Idaho. Note to self: Schedule injectable appointments on Saturday from now on.

Relax, scavenger hunts are fun. But for you:

“One Battle After Another” is a 2025 action thriller film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s a politically charged adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland, blending dark comedy, crime, and revolutionary drama.

Fifty years from now, the Nobel Committee will release the details of 47’s nominations and where he placed in the contest. And people will laugh. Oh, how they will laugh. The arc of history does not bode well for the orange one.

Sounds like scary stuff for a sixth nonfiction book.

SoloSojourner @solosojourner.bsky.social · 1d

The Peace Prize will be announced tomorrow and 47’s name isn’t even in the running. The leading favorite is Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms (ERR), followed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

The Nobel Committee hasn’t recovered from awarding Kissinger and denying Gandhi; no room for 47.

Thank you for stating this so clearly and in terms we can use in discussions to get more people on board with what is coming. Even as Texas invades Illinois, there are still people willing to bury their heads in the sand and deny what is happening. We need tools to open their eyes.

Try accountability instead.

Your quote isn’t neutral either. It’s part of a framing that centers her “bad behavior” while ignoring the context and double standard. That’s how false narratives work: selectively quoting to reinforce bias.

“Do better” isn’t a mic drop when you’re enabling the very dynamic being called out.

You don’t get to tell me what someone else meant. You’re not their intent interpreter. And you don’t get to dismiss misogyny as “random” when the subject is a woman being written off for asserting boundaries, something men routinely survive or get praised for.

You’re not just misrepresenting what was said, you’re defending a gendered disqualification by pretending it’s neutral “political analysis.” Saying “I think she’s done” isn’t benign; it’s a public declaration of unfitness based on tone, not substance. That’s the gendered leap.

Yes, it is misogyny, and so is your false narrative. The post didn’t just say the interview was a “bad experience,” it declared her “done” because of it. That leap from critique to disqualification is gendered. Men survive worse moments; women get written off for asserting boundaries.

and that’s not resistance.

For anyone saying, ‘I can’t afford to miss work,’ they should probably be helped to understand that they’d be better off missing work voluntarily than having their job disappear when they least expect it.

As soon as the leaders of the Democratic Party, or maybe now they should declare themselves officially ‘Antifa’, find their backbone, call for a national strike, and then organize it, we might have a chance. For now, we’re all just witnessing and narrating,
